Laser cutting machine is a technology that uses lasers such as solid state lasers, CO2 and fiber to cut materials. It is capable to cut materials ranging from steel to plastic with absolute precision. It is an essential machinery tool required by industries to manufacture the components with composite geometry for instance automotive industry, machine tool industry and other manufacturing industries.

According to study, “Global Laser Cutting Machine Market 2019 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2024” the key companies operating in the global laser cutting machine market are Trumpf GmbH Co., Bystronic, Han'S Laser, Mitsubishi Electric, Mazak, Prima Power, Amada, DMG MORI, Coherent Inc., Unity Laser, HG Laser, Universal Laser Systems, Koike, Cincinnati,  Conzzeta Management AG, Tianqi Laser, IPG Photonics Corp., LVD, Epilog Laser, Tanaka, CTR Lasers, Penta-Chutian, Spartanics, Lead Laser, Microlution, Trotec, Kaitian Laser, GF, HE Laser, Boye Laser, Golden Laser. Key vendors are progressively adopting digitalization in their manufacturing processes to remain competitive. Digitalization will allow end-users to enhance flexibility, increase return on investment (ROI), minimize waste, and reduce inventories and time-to-market. It will also help in confirming the effective maintenance & replacement of worn-out parts. Hence, market vendors are concentrating on connecting laser cutting machines to a communication network and using Internet of Things (IoT) to provide complete integration across the production line. Moreover, the adoption of blockchain will also help in forming a robust digital supply chain and minimize the overall cost across the supply chain.

Based on technology, laser cutting machine market is segmented into gas lasers, solid-state lasers, and semi-conductor lasers. Solid state lasers are used for medical applications. Diode-pumped solid-state lasers gives a superior beam quality and an ever-increasing degree of processing flexibility. Based on process, market is segmented into flame cutting, fusion cutting, and sublimation cutting. In addition, based on end-user, market is segmented into automotive, defense & aerospace, consumer electronics, industrial and others. Automotive sectors dominates the market owing to change in consumer lifestyle, rise in demand for automobiles and increase in consumer income. Additionally, defense & aerospace segment is anticipated to exhibit higher growth rate due to increase in space research project during the forecast period.

Lahore, Pakistan, December 10, 2019 The Student Promise a leading global career development portal, is to launch in Pakistan. Originally based in the UK, the company bridges the gap between education and employment. Powered by the “EPSN workforce group”, a leading recruitment agency, The Student Promise offers a complete solution for not just securing the desired job, but lifelong career growth and development. Students, recent graduates and experienced professionals in Pakistan who sign up with the service will get access to an online portal where a career consultant will review the information provided and identify potential matches with the students chosen career path. This state-of-the-art career development portal is equipped with innovative tools and software that helps subscribers upgrade their skills to become a more attractive prospect to potential employers.

According to the Higher Education Commission (HEC), Pakistani universities have been producing over half a million graduates, including over 10,000 IT graduates annually since 2010. While there are currently 3 million students enrolled in grades 13 through 16 in different colleges and universities. Although this rising enrollment has contributed to Pakistan`s growing human capital, there is also a significant increase in the overall unemployment rate which has grown over the years from 1.4% in the 1980s, to 5.90% in 2019.

Most of this unemployment rate is attributed to the lack of career counselling.  Students in major universities of Pakistan do not have proper career guidance, which leads them to develop skills that might not be the perfect match for the current job market. As a result, these graduates face poorer prospects and lower earnings as compared to their peers who embark on careers that are a better fit for the knowledge and skills they have acquired.

The Student Promise offers an innovative solution to this problem. Not only are their career consultants going to provide personalized advice on the path that students can take to get desired employment, but they will also help them in gaining valuable skills desired by potential employers.

Anyone from Pakistan can subscribe, and gain access to these services and getting their desired job through the EPSN workforce Groups global network. While this service will give Pakistanis youth access to local as well as global job markets, it will help reduce unemployment and strengthen the economy.

After the initial launch, The Student Promise further plans to work with corporate companies to help them find the best talent available for their organizations.

The Student Promise is a UK based career development portal that helps students, recent graduates and experienced professionals in developing valuable skills and find their desired job.
